“Stop,” she said.
Her words rolled over him, and he wanted to shake his head and demand for them to continue. Instead, he pulled his hand away.
“Let me down.” He placed her on the floor. “You told me this would never happen between us.”
Tony knew what he’d said to her.
“Things change.”
“You said you’d never touch me. I don’t want you to do something you’ll regret, and I won’t be a replacement for one of your women.”
With her words hanging in the air, she left the room. He watched her go, not even trying to stop her.
He stared at his reflection in the mirror and wondered why he’d even started something he knew he couldn’t finish. Shaking his head, he followed her down in time to see her leave. She didn’t look at him, but he knew his friends and their wives had taken note of the change within her.
Why couldn’t he leave her alone? Every time he promised himself he wouldn’t touch her, it would change the moment he saw her.
He congratulated Lily and Wayne before leaving. Once he got in his car he pulled out the small box in his pocket. He’d known today had been two years since they’d gotten married. To celebrate the event he’d spent the time looking for an engagement ring in the hope of giving it to her.
Staring down at the small ring he felt like a complete fool.
